They told Brendon they talked to his mom and she said it was okay to talk to them.

Neither Brendan or Barb knew (or probably even know now) what "inconsistent" means. Brendan couldn't even begin to fathom, Barb gave it a go but didn't quite get it either.

I know. Brendon isn't smart enough to know they were lying to him. He kept guessing the answers they wanted until they were right, just like he did in school on his test.

This blew my mind. Not making fun when I say this, but for both individuals not knowing what inconsistent meant just shows mentally challenged they were

Both Brendan's and Steve's IQ's were measured at 70 from what was presented (and if i'm recalling correctly). This isn't a case of where he just isn't smart...20 years ago it was called mental retardation. Think about that. And for those that aren't that familiar with the IQ system...100 is designed to be the average score of everyone. Most everyone falls between 90-110. 70 is EXTREMELY low. I don't know whether either of them did this or not...i just know that they weren't proven guilty from what I saw. And that stuff coming out about the lead prosecutor and sexually harassing women...go read that story. Proves what I think everyone thought about him from the start...he's shady.

You watched the entire series and you still have this mindset? The whole premise of the series is to show how the convicted are no longer presumed innocent until proven guilty, you can devalue evidence through media manipulation, coercing confessions is standard practice and is akin to obtaining a confession under torture, and the burden has shifted from the prosecution proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to the defense having to prove innocence.

Good point. Obviously, someone is not presumed innocent in that county, especially that family. Clearly, that family was not real bright and was despised by law enforcement.

Curses to whoever brought up "Dear Zachary". Despite my better judgment, I couldn't help myself and watched it last night. As a father of 5, I'm just devastated. Can't stop thinking about it.

I saw this today, I guess what the ending was going to be but it more horrific than what I could even imagine.

I just finished the series last night: obviously it was heavily biased, but even then I'm not sure how there wasn't reasonable doubt in either case


Alright is anyone not thinking the brother and the ex? there was one TV interview that they did that was really really sketchy.

The brother and ex rubbed me the wrong way to.

I thought it was interesting in the last episode where, prior to the brother giving his comments on sentencing, they show that "things I love" video of Theresa: in it she says "I love my sisters" - nothing about her brother (unless I'm remembering this wrong)

Yet they somehow pulled off a masterful job of cleaning up the blood in the garage and the trailer...

They obviously tanked their IQ scores years in advance because they knew one day it could help them to look dumb, the true long con.

I think you are remembering right. I noticed it too.

Not to mention the earlier video where she says, "If I die and you watch this" or something to that effect, like she knew something bad could happen to her, coupled with the odd phone calls/phone records as noted by her co-worker and then the ex-bf. I think she had a stalker, and I don't think it was Steve Avery.

That was me. As brutal as it is, it's still probably the best documentary I've ever seen.
